Yesterday I installed the XAMPP (used to be called LAMP) stack, which includes mysql 5.0.18, on a Fedora Core 4 system. This seems like the quickest way of getting version 5 running WITHOUT clashing at all with my current install. Everything went 100% smooth, and I was able to copy my 4.x myisam based schemas over to the new directory (/opt/lampp/var/mysql), browse the data with mysql's gui clients as well as with the phpMysql console. (I do NOT bring both up simultaneously, and have disabled the autostart for the old one.) I changed the own and grp on the /opt/lampp directroy structure, with the owner now being mysql with full rights. I do not know at which point this happened but I can't bring up the thing any longer. This is what I get: 060124 14:15:44 mysqld started 060124 14:15:44 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 060124 14:15:44 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock ? 060124 14:15:44 [ERROR] Aborting
